Roofing & Siding Contractors in Nebraska
Licensed roofing and siding contractors serving Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, and communities statewide.

Nebraska Roofing — Northern Tornado Alley, the 2019 Bomb Cyclone, and America's Hail Belt Extension
Nebraska occupies the northern extension of both Tornado Alley and the US hail belt, combining prairie tornado exposure with severe winter weather to create a year-round roofing damage environment. Nebraska has produced some of the US's most extraordinary tornado records: the May 22, 2004 Hallam, Nebraska EF-4 tornado was the widest ever recorded at that time at 2.5 miles across, carving a path of near-total destruction through Hallam in Saline County. The June 2014 Pilger twin EF-4 tornadoes struck simultaneously — a historically rare multiple-vortex event that destroyed two-thirds of Pilger's structures. Nebraska averages 50–60 annual tornado touchdowns, with the Platte River valley and southeast Nebraska (Douglas, Lancaster, Saunders, and Seward counties) most frequently impacted. The March 2019 'bomb cyclone' blizzard-to-flood event was Nebraska's most costly natural disaster on record: rapid snowmelt from an intense Arctic cold front followed by an intense low-pressure system caused catastrophic flooding along the Platte, Loup, Elkhorn, and Missouri rivers, destroying livestock facilities, farmhouses, and rural community infrastructure across 65 of Nebraska's 93 counties. Nebraska's hail belt exposure is among the most active in the northern plains, with Omaha and Lincoln both experiencing 4–6 significant hail events per year.

Frequently Asked Questions — Nebraska
What was the 2019 Nebraska bomb cyclone disaster?
The March 2019 bomb cyclone was Nebraska's most expensive natural disaster on record. An intense extratropical cyclone (a 'bomb cyclone' that deepened more than 24 millibars in 24 hours) combined with rapid snowmelt to cause catastrophic flooding across the state. The Spencer Dam on the Niobrara River failed; the Platte, Loup, Elkhorn, and Missouri rivers flooded simultaneously; and I-80 near the Iowa border was submerged. Sixty-five of Nebraska's 93 counties were declared disaster areas. Rural farm buildings, rural housing, and smaller communities across northeast and central Nebraska experienced the greatest destruction.
Does Nebraska get the same tornado exposure as Oklahoma and Kansas?
Nebraska's tornado exposure is similar in frequency but somewhat lower in violent EF-4/5 intensity compared to Oklahoma and Kansas. Nebraska averages 50–60 annual tornadoes — substantial — but the highest concentration of EF-4/5 events occurs slightly south of Nebraska in Oklahoma and Kansas. That said, Nebraska has produced extraordinary events: the 2004 Hallam EF-4 was 2.5 miles wide, and southeast Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln, Fremont corridor) has experienced multiple significant tornado strikes including the June 2008 Windsor-Milligan outbreak and the June 2014 Pilger twin tornadoes.
What are Nebraska's worst hail areas?
Southeast Nebraska — Douglas County (Omaha), Lancaster County (Lincoln), Sarpy County (Bellevue, Papillion), and Saunders County — receives the highest frequency of large-hail events, averaging 4–6 events per year with 1-inch or larger stones. The Platte River corridor (Grand Island, Columbus, Fremont) also receives significant hail events. Western Nebraska (Scottsbluff, Alliance) gets less frequent but often very large hail events from isolated supercell storms on the High Plains.
